This is the first sampler of the year. I'm sorry for the delay, but I feel that the quality of the bands was worth waiting.

As I wrote previously, I have changed the name of the sampler.

1) The first band was one of my best of 2009 choices. I bought both EPs from Interpunk and I must say that I loved those guys straightaway. Recently I posted the review that Chris wrote, so I guess that we are not the only ones that are waiting for more Dirty Filthy Mugs songs.

"Half Pint" (6 track EP, 2009)

"Another Round" (3 track 7", 2009)
"All Yobs In" (forthcoming album, 2010)

Both EPs can be purchased from Interpunk (just click on the name)

2) The second band comes from Barcelona. Their demo has also been reviewed by Chris. Even if they are a young band, they have already shared the stage with bands such as The Dreadnoughts and The Real McKenzies. Together with Bastards on Parade and Brutus' Daughters they are at the forefront of the burgeoning Spanish Celtic Punk scene.

3) Another excellent band from the USA, The Gentlemen. IMHO, any Celtic Punk fan should know them.

(taken fom their MySpace site)

"The Gentlemen are an 8 piece Celtic Punk band from Morgantown, West Virginia who combine traditional Irish folk with American punk rock. In the 3 years they have been together they have opened for the likes of Mustard Plug, The Toasters, and The Bouncing Souls, toured up and down the East Coast with sold out shows in their own town, and in May of 2009 released their first full length album "Stick To Your Guns". The Gentlemen demand your attention with high energy performance levels needed to draw large crowds and produce a great sound. The Gentlemen's big sound and sing along anthems are sure to rile up, and move any crowd whether they're in your local pub or playing a huge stadium."

4) Tommy's Heroes were featured on The Celtic Punk Sampler vol. XI England. Their debut album is ready and I enjoy their music, so I feel that they deserve to be featured again on another sampler.
